Acknowledgements

  • the Very Large Data Base Endowment.
  Thank you very much!
• The Microsoft sponsorship was initiated by Jim Gray after a short discussion during SIGMOD conference 1998 at Seattle. His support was essential for the growth of DBLP and should be added as a footnote to his unique list of contributions documented in the SIGMOD Record issue of June 2008.
• Thank you for all e-mails! I try to read them all, but unfortunately I am only able to answer a small fraction of it ... sorry!
